Refrigerated Trucking Keeping Your Product Cold.

Temperature-controlled transport you can trust.

Some freight has to stay cold. Every mile, every stop. That takes more than a truck. It takes a team that gets it right. That’s J&H and our refrigerated trucking services.

What We Haul in Refrigerated Trucks

Refrigerated trucks (also called reefer trucks) are designed to keep freight cold. They do it with insulated trailers and reefer units that hold a set temperature from pickup to delivery.

J&H hauls products that need to stay cool, including:

  • Fresh and frozen food products
  • Dairy and meat products
  • Produce and perishables
  • Pharmaceuticals and medical supplies
  • Beverages and temperature-sensitive liquids
  • Floral products
  • Cosmetics and personal care items
  • Any freight requiring climate-controlled transport

If your product spoils, melts, or breaks down outside a set temperature, we protect it. Every mile.
